Wonder how long until players start suing to be able to get into the transfer portal again after spring. Guessing a couple of months from now.

In this case gods plan is just a way of escaping responsibility for your actions.

HS kids will have to learn that unless you’re game changing you aren’t making shit and you’d better stay put for years 1-2. Years 3-5 is where all the money is going.
As was pointed out. If these kids don’t adjust they’re going to end up out of football by the age of 20. I wonder what long term impact this will have on kids.

I think like most things in life, it depends on the family dynamic and socioeconomic standing of the kid. And unfortunately many of these poor urban and rural kids, sports is the way out for many of them. Without it, many would be back at the local factory, construction site, some type of dead end job and hopefully not ending up on illegal means. For many family’s sad to say, this kid is the hope for them to have some type of family financial success. A lot of pressure for a teenager.
But I agree that a number of kids would’ve been better off staying at their first school.

They’re certainly going to have to adjust. Unless you’re a can’t miss kids really need to consider going to either a big time school to wait it out or even to a lower level to play right away.
Maybe if a four star kid went to Ohio University they’d play and do well? Then year two there’s likely a bunch of interested programs

the cat is already out of the bag, but I really wish the portal would have developed into what it should have been.
Hot Shot high school kid gives it a shot at a top tier school, but isn't quite good enough, drop down to a G5 or FCS school. No shame in being good enough to play there but not at an elite football school.
High School kid flying under the radar, maybe a late bloomer type goes to small school first and is ready to make the jump? Absolutely, give the kid a shot.
but this jumping around with a bunch of "lateral" moves?
nah fuck that.

I suspect a lot of smaller schools might be trimming their roster sizes some to make more money available for NIL. Scholarships, food, housing, medical, travel, it adds up. There are a lot of unused scholarship spots in the Big Ten.
It will get worse as the grandfathered walk-ons start to age out and their roster spots just disappear.

College football is “mirroring” college wrestling in many regards. NCAA increased scholarship count to (30) for P4 conferences….up from (10ish) they used to have.
On the surface, it appeared that would help more kids get scholarship opportunity. The opposite has happened though….where schools used to carry up to 50 wrestlers that could get partial scholarships, now it’s reduced to exactly 30. When that is multiplied across all programs, you see a huge net decrease in wrestlers on teams.
Division I football teams can now disperse up to 105 scholarships (in an increase from the 85 limit).
Very few teams will carry more than 75-80 scholarship players anymore because of NIL. We are going to see fewer DI players with a 105 limit, than when the limit was 85, because of NIL.
